Onekama is a truly special location on both Portage Lake and Lake Michigan. Portage Lake is a deep, wide, clean bottom lake with great fishing in the summer and the winter. It freezes all the way across in the winter, and you can drive your snowmobiles or trucks right out to your shanty. Portage Lake flows via a channel out to Lake Michigan at the Historic Portage Point- Home of the Portage Point Inn. There's lots of Public Access on both lake shores for summer or winter enjoyment.
